CITY HALL AND FIRST PARISH CHURCH, 

HECity Hall is an imposing structure, on Congress Street, directly opposite Exchange Street, and the building of the Union Mutual 
Life Insurance Company. It has a frontage of one hundred and fi'fty feet, a length of two hundred and twenty-one feet, with corner 
towers seventy-five feet high, and a central dome rising to a height of one hundred and sixty feet. The cost of the building was ^650.000, 
and it contains eighty rooms. On the second floor is the superb City Hall, one hundred and thirteen feet long, eighty feet wide, and thirty- 
five feet high, with a seating capacity of twenty-five hundred. 



The First Parish Church, at the head of Temple Street on Congress Street, is constructed of undressed granite, and was built in 
1825 on the site of the old church, which was built in 1740. There were only six pastors of this church from 1727 to 1885, among whom was 
the noted Rev. Thomas Smith, the first ordained minister after the settlement of the town. For many years he was the most distinguished 
preacher in this part of the country, and was the only physician as well. He lived under the reign of four sovereigns, and the presidency of 
George Washington, dying in 1795, in the ninety-fourth year of his age, after a ministry here of sixty-eight years and two months. 



THE ^ UNION ^ MUTUAL ^i'^ LIFE ^ INSURANCE ^ COMPANY, 

Is a PURELY MUTUAL COMPANY. It has no stockholders to absorb the profits of the Company. Every 
policy-holder is a member of the Company, and receives his share of the profits of the business, as provided 
for in his policy. Hence every policy-holder is interested in the prosperity of the Company. The dividends 
received continually add to the value of the policy, when the dividends are allowed to remain with the Com- 
pany. A policy thus becomes a constantly increasing asset if the premiums are regularly paid. Such an 
investment cannot fail to be satisfactory. Therefore

THE BIRTHPLACE OF LONGFELLOW,

commanded the admiration of Americans everywhere. He was born " in an old square wooden house upon the edge of the sea," on Fore 
Street, Feb. 27, 1807. But the old house is no longer by the edge of the sea. In his poem entitled ■' My Lost Youth," the city of his birth 
is thus described by Longfellow: — 

" tlie beautiful town 

That is seated bv the sea." 



Next to the Preble House is an old brick mansion, — the first brick house built in Portland. It is a plain, old-fashioned mansion, but 
it is full of memories of the olden time. It is now known as the Longfellow House. The poet lived in this house in his youth, and it is still 
in possession of his family.

OLD CITY HALL, 

PORTLA-ISTD, Mi^VINE. 

^\NE of the most prominent public buildings in Portland is the Old City Hall. It was built of brick in 1825, and was originally very 
^"^ plain, but was afterwards improved in appearance by being finished in Ionic style. This building has witnessed many eventful scenes 
in the administration of the affairs of the City of Portland. The military companies of the city now have their armories in this building, 
and it is therefore now called Military Hall. 

In this Old City Hall, Garrison made his terrible oratorical attacks on slavery; here Stephen S. Foster was assaulted by a brutal 
pro-slavery mob : here, under the mayoralty of Neal Dow, the military shot John Robbins, while acting with an anti-liquor mob. in an 
attempt to destroy liquors stored in the basement of the building: here was heard the eloquence of Sumner and Fessenden, and the 
other great orators of the past.

of the UNION MUTUAL, death claims are, and will be, paid promptly on the approval of the Loss Committee, 
without discount. This is clearly stated in the new Maine Law Convertible Policy, in which the Company 
promises to pay the claim " upon acceptance of satisfactory proofs of death at its said office, to his

The Union Mutual Life Insurance Company, 

Issues its policy contracts in such clear and simple forms, that there can be no misunderstanding. They are 
not full of technicalities and conditions, but plain contracts, easily understood. Some life insurance contracts 
of some companies are so full of limitations, qualifications and restrictions, that a man must consult his 
lawyer to know how to die within the terms of his policy. But not so with the policies of the LINION MUTUAL. 
The Maine Law Convertible Policies of the UNION MUTUAL LIFE contain no restrictions upon travel and 
residence after three years, and are incontestable in fact as well as in name. Therefore,

claiming to have incontestable policies have in their policies clauses relating either to residence, occupations or warranties

this policy of the Union Mutual is practically world-wide as to travel and residence, and absolutely incontestable after
